  • 170 BIRD OBSERVER Vol. 28, No. 3, 2000 Birding the Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth
    170 BIRD OBSERVER Vol. 28, No. 3, 2000 Birding the Myles Standish State Forest in Plymouth Glenn d ’Entremont Forty miles south of Boston is a paradise where a patient observer can enjoy the tranquil transition from day to night. There is no better place to be after a long day’s work. Perhaps it is the sandy soil which absorbs the sound waves or its location several miles from any concentration of urban activity. Whatever the reason, the outcome is the same. Hermit Thmshes, Prairie Warblers, and Field Sparrows reluctantly give way to American Woodcock, Great Homed Owl, and Whip-poor-wills. This is not how it was. Before the filling in of Back Bay in Boston, before the slashing and burning of tropical forests of South America, a pristine hardwood forest was destroyed. At the time of the arrival of the Pilgrims, cherry and chestnut trees stood in the pine barrens now called the Myles Standish State Forest. Glaciers have shaped this terrain. It is pocked with kettleholes, bodies of water with no inlet or outlet. The water is colored brown by tannic acid. The sandy soil is glacial deposit. This area was the terminus of the sheet of ice covering New England, and when the glacier(s) retreated, pulverized stone in the form of sand was left. When first cut over by Europeans, the precious top soil was cultivated for a short period, and then it was washed away, leaving the sandy soil base deposited by the glaciers. This soil provides excellent drainage, good for the production of the scmb oak and pitch pine that dominate the landscape today.

Water quality in the aquifer is high. Water levels in the ponds fluctuate directly with the water table from year to year and during the season. Coastal pond shore communities contain animals and insects that have adapted to these fluctuations and only exist in coastal plain ponds. Concern about exceeding the sanitary code for bacteria levels. Last year in August, siX tests at College Pond and three at Curlew Pond eXceeded allowable levels. DCR Ponds and Lakes Program restored Banks at Fearing Pond in 2009. Last state conducted water quality survey was in 2004.
